What is the daughter nuclide when 0-15 experiences positron emission?
1 answer:
The daughter isotope (a decay product)of O-15 = N-15(Nitrogen 15)
<h3>Further explanation </h3>Radioactivity is the process of unstable isotopes to stable isotopes by decay, by emitting certain particles,
- alpha α particles ₂He⁴
- beta β ₋₁e⁰ particles
- gamma particles γ
- positron particles ₁e⁰
O-15 emits positron particles ₁e⁰, so the atomic number decreases by 1, the mass number is the same
Reaction
The mass number of the daughter isotope = 15, atomic number = 7
If we look at the periodic system, the element with atomic number 7 is Nitrogen (N)

Answer:
The charge carried by each ion (oxidation state of each atom)
Explanation:
If we have an ionic compound and we want to write its formula, we must first know the magnitude of charge on each ion (shown as oxidation state of the atoms involved) because the magnitude of charge on each ion is eventually crisscrossed and gives the subscript (number of atoms) for each atom in the formula.
For instance, let us write the formula of calcium bromide. Ca has a charge of +2 while Br has a charge of -1. If we exchange the charges and ignore the signs such that the crisscrossed charges form subscripts we can now write; .
